On Tuesday 14th of June we have a major new event for a summer evening in Peebles, in the Scottish Borders. For the first time, a major new road event will be taking place in the town centre: a Belgian-style kermis event with lots of the community involved and pubs and restaurants along the circuit; The Peebles Criterium 2011.
The circuit is short and spectacular, with high speeds along the Main Street and sharp descent, and tricky corners with a short uphill to test the lungs each lap.
Many of Scotland’s best riders will be competing, and we’ll see big crowds and a party atmosphere to shout them on too.
The kermis is part of “TweedLove”, a week-long festival of bike-riding and good times in the cycle-friendly Tweed Valley — an area with hundreds of miles of the country’s best trails, tracks and roads.
